Award Winning NMEA Specialists DST-2Depth Speed Temperature ModuleBreathe new smart digital life into your old or new transducers,with this NMEA depth, speed & temperature digital signal processor... The Actisense® Active Depth/Speed/ Temperature module is the best solution for interfacing standard analogue transducers and NMEA 0183 compatible chart plotters, radars, and on board laptop PCs. Designed for use with most existing analogue transducers already fitted to a vessel, or new analogue transducers. Our industry proven depth sounder algorithm has the best-in-class seabed tracking, and when in conjunction with a good quality depth transducer, can track the seabed down to 0.3m or 1 foot (proven with Airmar transducers) . 100W peak depth power enables a maximum depth range of 100m or 330 feet under optimum conditions (proven with Airmar transducers). The DST module's data interface is configured for NMEA 0183 and RS232, but can operate as a fully bidirectional RS485 interface for customised applications, such as a multiple depth sounder network. Log transducer and temperature thermistor interfaces allow additional data to be provided over the NMEA data stream, giving a cable saving when those extra measurements are required. Easy reprogramming of the DST module is possible using free software available on the Actisense® website. The DST module's software can be updated with the very latest software enhancements, or special purpose software such as a fish-finder/hydrograph software upgrade. The DST module can be further enhanced with the Actisense® NMEA display software for Windows™. This software displays the depth, speed, trip distance and temperature values, and plots a historical graph for each value. Available from the Actisense® website. www.actisense.com Active Research Limited is registered in England, Company number: 3295909. VAT Registration number: GB 658 7968 55.
